LITTLE CHILDREN RUN AND PLAY

I don't think I'll go to church this Sunday
You go and take the kids and teach 'em right from wrong
I think I'll just stay home and have a cool one
Little children run
Little children play
But little children listen to what the grown-ups say
I talk about the law, and I talk against taxes
And I never speak or wave to my neighbour down the street
For he's not like me, he,...he's a different colour
Little children run
Little children play
But little children listen to what the grown-ups say
We shout at each other and give dirty looks
Carelessly let the kids read out of our dirty books
We have a lot of parties and boast about the fun
But little children run
Little children play
But little children listen to what the grown-ups say
Little children run
Little children play
But little children grow up into grown-up folks someday
